The National Association of Student Employment Services (NASES) is a national membership driven organisation, offering operational solutions to professionals working in the student employment sector.Established in July 1998, NASES aims to facilitate the continuing development of the employment sector by encouraging the sharing of best practice between Higher and Further Education institutions.NASES is a registered charity and has gained popularity from the desire of likeminded employability professionals to share expertise, provide mutual support and participate in national agendas to maximise the student journey from enrolment to graduation.

Vision & Objectives

We strive to be recognised as the leading authority on student employment, committed to raising awareness in all aspects of the student employability journey. We know that each career team, job shop and recruitment team within a University or college is different, but we all share a common goal which is to do our best for the students we deal with on a daily basis. By sharing our ideas, challenges and experiences, we hope to make the student employment sector the best it can be whilst helping students utilise the skills they develop through work experience.

Some of the ways in which we aim to do this are:

* by facilitating positive PR and press to highlight all forms of student work as valid sources of work experience.

* organise a variety of campaigns such as National Student Employment Week (NSEW) and Student Employee of the Year (SEOTY) to work with and encourage students and their employers to get involved in the development of the student employment sector.

* by working with large multi-national employers and SMEs to advertise student vacancies with the aim to increase the quantity and quality of paid work experience opportunities available.
